I believe that what you did was the right thing. I think that it was a smarter decision to give birth to the baby and then give it to loving people (or person) who wants to raise it, love it, and call it their own. Because then at least, the baby would be able to have a chance at life and love instead of being stripped away of the chance to do so. I’m sure it must have been crazy hard to decide what to do with your baby and of course I cannot relate to the kind of stress and pressure you were put under. I think you were very smart and made the best decision for you and the baby.

To be blunt, abortion is mean. But, to cover both topics, I understand why some people are pro choice and that’s their opinion. I can understand (to an extent) of why pregnant women would want an abortion for many reasons; the main one being that they’re not ready. Whether it’s financially, physically, emotionally, etc. It is also a difficult and emotional area if the mother who is pregnant with the baby has a life or death situation when she goes into labor. I have heard tragic stories of women who had to abort their unborn babies because their bodies were not suited to go into labor and they could possibly die while trying to give birth. In that instance, abortion would be the only thing they can do and that is when I can’t tell if abortion is a bad thing or not.
But, for most women, if they were to get pregnant and they know they’re not ready for a baby then they shouldn’t keep it. It’s not fair to the child to grow up in an unstable home or be killed even before being able to take its first breath of air. I know that if I were put in Juno’s situation, I would not keep the baby. I would not be ready and I would do exactly what she did and give it up to be in a loving home to loving people. It’s not the baby’s fault for the decision the couple made. The baby should not be killed because a couple was reckless and didn’t use protection, or did use protection but it failed. Every couple should keep in mind that every time they have sex, there is always a possibility to get pregnant even when protected. So, if they get pregnant and don’t want to be parents, I believe they should find a caring home for it rather than taking it’s brand new life.
Mr. Geib’s friends he showed us in class are the perfect example of making a humane decision. The mother was pregnant with the child knowing that the new baby would have health defects. I am so amazed and proud that she had the baby anyways instead of getting an abortion and let it have the chance to try and live a life even if it didn’t work out. At least it had a chance than no chance at all. That’s another reason why women get abortions is because the doctor says that the baby will have a health problem or something difficult to live with and so they don’t want the baby to go through that. But, I honestly don’t think that’s an excuse. I believe that they should have the baby regardless and give it plenty of medical care and to give it their all to keep the baby living. How heartless can people be by killing unborn babies? Everyone is given a life and it’s not our right or decision to take it away even if it is “our bodies”.
